President’s Message

Look inside yourself, deeply! There is a secret to be revealed…. It’s part of the Great Adventure of life, You’ve a reason to sing every day! Life, in all it’s aspects, was and is, and continues to be Wonder Full!!

The World and our lives may seem to be chaotic, upsetting at times. We cannot but wonder “what’s it all about?”.

We may feel pulled toward reflection. We may examine events and memories, “old” events and “old” memories in and of our lives, things and events that shaped us to who we are. But they’re gone if not forgotten.

People before us have searched for understanding of the whys and wherefore and meaning to “it all” for eons. It’s not new. Countless teachers, holy men, avatars and spiritual teachers have tried to point the way to their followers, students, devotees with limited success.

How are we supposed to fathom the crazy world and our personal crazy path?

If you were at my talk at the Sunday Service in January, I suggested to remember L. Cougar, with a slightly different spelling, C. A. U. G. A. R. Don’t forget L for Love!

So, let’s be kind to ourselves.
We are works in progress, and our bold, exuberant faith also calls us toward rest and self-compassion. So then…

Love oneself with…
Consciousness
Awareness
Understanding
Acceptance
Rememberance

Namaste, Chas
